On November 13th, Tiffany & Co. unveils the holiday handiwork of its Vice President, Creative Merchandising, Richard Moore. The building's 5th Ave. and 57th Street façades carry four large illuminated fireworks that mimic the pyrotechnics created to introduced the Tiffany Diamond at the 1939 World's Fair. Each measure a towering 106 feet high. In the center of each firework is a replica yellow  "cushion cut" 128.54 carat Tiffany Diamond.
